TroutnMuskieHunter Posted August 31, 2011 Report Posted August 31, 2011 As some of you know from an earlier post, I had to cancel our trip down to Nantucket for Bluefin Tuna because of Hurricane Irene ....it was actually a good decision because they had closed the Providence Rhode Island airport on Sunday and I would not have made it down in time to get on the boat yesterday... So I puttered around the house and completed some outside chores which gave me the green light to head out on the river for a couple of hours last night before it got dark....I can't believe how short the days are getting!!......water temp dropped 5 degrees from last weekend with these cooler nights.... They're starting to fatten' up....
Roy Posted August 31, 2011 Report Posted August 31, 2011 Great looking fish, congrats! The water is a lot calmer than what it would have been on the bluefin trail too.
